Welcome!

We head back to school next week in these neck of the woods, so some of you may still need a bit of BLING for your classroom! I understand! If you haven't seen, scroll back a few posts and you'll see two posters I've made available for free for you to print out and use around your school and home...

"But, I want MORE!" You say? No problem!

Well, at least, no problem for ME--I'm not going to make more posters, but you can--and it takes really only a couple of minutes with this new (to me) site I stumbled upon called www.recitethis.com.

2. Type in a couple of words, phrases, a quote, etc. (the only part I don't like is that I want to credit the quoted person a bit smaller than the rest of the quote, but it doesn't let you futz with that--it's automatic).

3. Choose a layout you like from the preview selection in the scrollbar at the bottom of the page.

4. Click "create"

And....

BOOM! You are done! You can download the poster (to print), email it, share it on Facebook and more.

And NEW this year: Family Art Studio nights on the second Thursday of each month. This gives families the opportunity to relax and create art together! This is new for me, so I'll keep you posted on how it goes!

So, check out the course, and contact me if you have any questions. If you want to register, head on over to www.AmherstRec.org and do so there. I'll be updating the "Art Classes" page of my blog with this info as soon as I get a minute.

And you'll be able to download the pdf files of both of these posters. For you. For FREE!! Yippee! They are both 11" x 17" and print out nicely--the colors are lovely!

The Fine Print:

Please feel free to print these posters out and share them, but no selling them and no changing the text. Also, please leave my name and copyright info on the posters. If you decide to publish the posters in a newsletter or such, please make sure you credit me (and you could email me at bpettus02@gmail.com--I'd love to see how you've shared them!).

The Instagram!! See what we're up to...

About Me

I am a creative, loud, mother of four. I'm married to my high-school sweetheart and live in New England where I teach middle school art (the BEST job in the world!). Once upon a time, I was a Graphic Designer and Illustrator, but now I am sharing my love of art with my students! My lessons combine Art History, world cultures and a variety of media--I love all sorts of art and it all makes it into my lessons!
